1983 Map of Bollinger Creek

About this map

Lake of the Ozarks dominates the landscape of this 1983 survey, where the winding Osage River channel creates a complex network of peninsulas and deep hollows. The map illustrates the transition of the region into a recreational and residential area during the early 1980s, evidenced by the development of Brown Bend, Ivy Bend, and the Ivy Bend Landing Strip. Amidst the modern growth, several family landmarks and community sites remain, including the Christian Ch of the Ozarks, Ivy Bend Mission, and the remote Camp Horn. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy burial sites throughout the rugged terrain, such as Parish Cem near the Morgan and Camden county line, and Woolery Cem situated along Bollinger Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the many named drainages like Wildcat Hollow and Pearson Hollow that feed into the reservoir.
